Excellent Baggage tag for the MS Lafayette. She had a very short life … less than a decade from launch to her destruction by fire. She had majestic deco interiors and was an evolution forward in the French Shipbuilding program of the 1930’s. The Tag is in like new shape. The picture shows Front and back … cute little ship profile!

Great little 24 plus page booklet dedicated to the New French Line Flagship … the Ss France. Contains many different photos of the building, machinery and interiors. Love the picture of the funnels being built .. these stacks would late inspire smoking souvenir ashtrays. A little scuff to the corner of the cover .. other than that great shape. Lots of info and text … all in French. Unusual item to find on this side of the Atlantic

Great book by Charles Offery describing the details of the SS France’s machinery. Over 250 pages of information … all in French. Offery has penned other French Line texts.
Unfortunately no pictures … just cram packed with info.

Nice mini deck plan for the SS France … great plans ands bw photos inside. I do not see a date … so I’m thinking mid 60’s

Excellent miniature deckplan for the mighty French lady. In excellent shape … has both the deckplans and some BW photos.

Nice bi-lingual first class deck plan for the lovely ship. There is a little bit of wrinkle to the pages as shown … but it does not appear to be water damage. Great colored coded plans and pictures inside. Approx 1966.

Awesome booklet brochure showing the interiors of the French flagship in color photos as well as French and English descriptions. There is a lovely centerfold gulls eye view of the liner streaming through the seas. the last page is a nice general profile cut away of the ship.

Lovely heavy glossy paper plan … in great shape. Dated Nov 1972 and agency stamped Budd Travel Newton , NJ.

Awesome almost full pad of French Line paper … the cover is a clever graphic of a modern funnel in the bright red and black colors. The inside is ready for all of your liner notes and scribbles. Excellent condition!

Interesting portrait ashtray for the Magnificent French Liner. The glaze shows browning and crazing … but the image of the ship is still excellent. I think it looks rather shabby chic. Good condition no cracks or chips etc.

Covers all classes for the SS France for her second year of service. Awesome tricolor funnel graphics

Lovely deck of blue trimmed cards for the SS France. Probably bought onboard. All there and in great condition.

Lovely deck of red trimmed cards for the SS France. Probably bought onboard. All there and in great condition.

Great little booklet welcoming folks on board and explaining nautical terms and on board info.
Very extensive coverage of what to expect on the voyage … including deck, room and activity information etc etc. 36 or so pages. Excellent shape .. a little glue residue to the back cover … must have been a scrapbook memento at one point.

Great little folder for the French Sisters. Lovely profile and some interior pictures. The were paired in the certain times of the year for West Indies services and cruises. Great condition …like new with a little sticker blemish on the rear panel.

Written in both English and French .. the program has several pages all dedicated to onboard charity activities and the organizations the funds would be donated too. great graphics The pages are all aged and discolored a bit and a few bumps … but complete. Dated March 1935.

Lovely photo of the flagged be decked ss France … probably during her Maiden Voyage. famous image that was used on all sorts of publicity material her entire life.

very heavy Glass/crystal CGT ashtray … modern and introduced on the French ships in the 60’s after the France made her maiden voyage in Feb of 1962. This is really heavy, well made in excellent condition. Probably swiped right from the First Class Smoking room.

This is really a unique brass souvenir ashtray for the French Line Flagship SS France. This appears to be solid brass and is VERY heavy! Just love the port profile view of the French lady … you can even see the wings on her mighty funnels! Unique and in good condition!

This is the best fold out for these little ladies. It is HUGE one side is a superbly executed route maps with excellent graphics: the reverse side is dedicated to interior pics and info on the ships. In general, about the best foldout I have ever seen, awesome green and orange coloring.

A great plan .. the cover has a Cassandre like bow on view of the ship surrounded by line sketches of Paris landmarks. There is an agency stamp on the cover and different pictures on the inside with the plans. A 325 is written on the cover and looks like a nice outside cabin. the plan is in great ship with a few pin holes from a prior owner. Dated 7/15/52

Really nice cabin class DP for the Ile. The plans are color coded and there are several pictures of room and the ship. I preferred her post war appearance and Interiors. In great shape except one of the corners if the back corner is clipped.

By far the best brochure ever done for the Flandre .. this is crammed full of huge photos of her marvelous interiors. She was nick named the “flounder” when she barely limped into NY Harbor on her maiden call … she had to go back to her builders for some major repairs. She sailed as the Carla C for Costa later in her life, and ultimately burned like so many French built ships. A magnificent brochure in outstanding condition… Marin Marie Centerfold of the ship.

Just the best post war brochure for the lovely Ile. full of interior photos and awesome centerfold port profile.

Awesome menu for a Tourist classe lunch onboard the outstanding French Flagship. A true deco masterpiece .. one of the most perfect liners ever.
The food onboard was noteworthy … more gulls supposefly followed the french line ships in search of scraps. Not really common to find any Tourist classe items. In great condition though yellowed. Lovely cover graphic of the steam powered frigate Audacius.
